You can magically (?) use the % sign if you change the http: protocol at the start of the forum URL to https: (and reload) when replying. It doesn't make any sense that the forum software should behave differently in that way, but it does.
☛ You can also put HTML character entities in your text, such as unicode characters, which is handy if you wish to include some special symbols like ⛽ or ⚠ or wish to include text in [brackets].
I tried to paste it in other topic, but yesterday script would not work.
This is the carport that I converted from 2 tent garages.
My cost about $500. When tarps deteriorated, I put sheet metal roofing.

If there is any possibility of windy weather where you are parking it I wouldn't use the cover. It does cause more damage from the constant rubbing on the corners and paint.
I am originally from the Midwest where you would think all RV owners would use the covers and no one does.
You alternative is to look for an inside storage unit or ask the place you are at if you can have a metal/tarp carport over your MH. They are not that expensive and are easily put up and removed.
Metal RV carports around a couple thousand dollars.
Tarp RV carports around a couple hundred dollars.

I got quotes for a 42' X 14' aluminum carport and they were right around $4000. One was slightly under and one slightly over.
Covers are not only expensive, rub the paint with the wind, kill motorhome owners who try to put them in the wind and make access restrictions.
On other hand lot of vehicle owners don't think what sunlight can do in 3 or 4 years and sometimes I cry seeing good vehicle with paint peeling off because owner choose to keep $70 worth of c**p in the garage and car sits on the driveway.
Coming to storage, once I kept my TT and boat at open storage at the lake.
The owner allow me to raise those tent garages for the season for $5 a month more.
The metal carport posted above would be the best, but also more complicated.
But don't forget to cover caps that can get UV.
